To design such footing, first, you must assume the total depth, t, with a total effective depth, d,
equals the difference of total depth minus steel cover. You can also assume the type of trapezoidal you are
using, i.e. between figure (a) and (b).
Assuming, we choose figure (a) as an example, given the allowable bearing capacity of soil and
loads carried by columns having either square or rectangular cross-section, determine the ultimate upward
soil pressure.

Then, solve for the dimensions of footing A or B.

𝑅𝑦 = 𝑃1 (𝐿) + 𝑃2 (0)
𝐴𝑥̅ = 𝐴1 𝑥1 + 𝐴2 𝑥2 + 𝐴3 𝑥3
Where,
R = Resultant Force = 𝑃1 + 𝑃2
(𝐵 − 𝐴) 𝐿 (𝐵 − 𝐴)(𝐿)

𝐴3 = 𝐴𝐿
𝑥̅ = 𝑦 + 𝑠/2
Compute for the pressure at the big and small end.
𝑞𝑚𝑎𝑥 = 𝑞𝑢 × 𝐵
𝑞𝑚𝑖𝑛 = 𝑞𝑢 × 𝐴
Solve for the location of maximum moment, x, which is zero shear, Vu = 0, to determine the
maximum moment the footing carries.
To solve for the Beam Shear, determine the adequacy of footing by using shear-moment diagram.
Solve first, the values of h1, h2, h3 and h4. Then, get the values of V A, VB, VC, VD and VE. From the
diagram, it can be seen that the critical shear force, Vu, is at point C, a distance, d, from face of exterior
column.
By using ratio and proportion, solve for the base of critical shear, b. Then, determine the adequacy
of Beam of shear. ∅𝑉𝑛 is must be greater than Vu to be safe.

Where,
b = base at critical shear
d = t – steel cover
